近年来世界局势的变化正在引起美国贸易格局的调整:它的重点正在向太平洋地区而又特别是向东南亚地区转移。这是芝加哥联邦储备银行的资深经济学家贾克L·哈维最近提出的分析结论。加拿大目前仍是美国的最大的单一贸易国,但它目前在美国的地位并不像以前那样巩固;西欧近年来和美国的贸易也已下降:从1970年占美国对外贸易的34％下降到1988年的27％;同期拉丁美洲对美国的贸易也有所下降,但日本对美国的出口却猛增了16倍,而美国对日本的出口却只增加10倍。
The changes in the world situation in recent years are causing the adjustment of the U.S. trade pattern: its focus is shifting to the Pacific region and especially to Southeast Asia. This is the analysis recently made by JL L. Harvey, senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Canada is still the largest single trading nation in the United States, but its current position in the United States is not as solidly consolidated as it used to be; trade with the United States in Western Europe has also dropped in recent years: from 34% of U.S. foreign trade in 1970 to 1988 Year; while in Latin America the trade with the United States also dropped over the same period, Japan’s exports to the United States soared 16-fold. The U.S. exports to Japan only increased 10 times.
